I'm not suggesting that plural marriage is preferred...just not prohibited. Mankind has a horrible history of being able to handle relationships properly to begin with...and in recent years polygamy is almost synonymous with abuse because of the way things have changed. There is a passage...

Sorry...try Matthew 5:32

Yes... This is not exactly what is true. Moses had two wives. So did Abraham after Sarah died. The passage you are referencing is in 2Timothy. "Husband of one wife" is part of a personal pastoral letter. Paul had a personal teacher/student relationship with Timothy. Much more of a casual...

I did in post #21. What part are you having a difficult time understanding?

If she was sold as a virgin (bride price) then she had better be one. There was no such compunction on men. He might already have a wife.

Again... This goes back to Matthew 19...and what Paul said. If a person cooerses another person into some kind of sinful behavior and/or has to endure abuse...the abused needs to leave the relationship with a clear conscience because of the abuse. The abuser is charged (by God) with all the...

Re-read the bottom of post #8 as I made an addition.

Divorce decrees were issued...no such thing as an annulment. She couldn't go back to her father's house.

Ahhhh Yes, she could take a copy of the ketubah to a Rabbi...if she was living in the home. But she might find herself "put away" as well. You have to remember that polygamy was mandated in some cases and desired in others. A wife's pecking order was determined by her husband. Polygamy wasn't...

Well, Because of rescources today..kinda not really any excuse for allowing the situation. There are many types of abuse. Emotional Financial Physical (including sex) Blackmail And these things should be discussed in marriage seminars...and actually are in most cases. Most churches I know of...

One last thing.... There usually was a ketubah...a marriage contract that was agreed to before the bride price was paid or dowry was given. It varies from couple to couple as to the contents of specifics but generally speaking it had various things such as: How many times a week a husband had...

Malachi... That famous quote people love to use to tell others that they cannot divorce..."I hate Divorce says the Lord". It's actually a slice taken out of context of a larger section that explains how God hates abuse more than divorce. Let me further detail out this by explaining that...

Now what I find facinating is that the PRC has a new antiviral that they are using. And I tend to think that I really won't care if someone steals this drug and manufactures it on a massive scale... they've stolen enough technology and intellectual property...and it was their lab that isolated...

Here's another one New antivirals kill SARS-CoV-2

Good news today.... And we needed it. Tiny Antibody Component Highly Effective Against COVID-19 Basically this is in the class of antivirals. It's an antibody Antiviral so it targets the viron itself instead of cell walls. It's works in the bloodstream, doesn't need specialized cooling...can...

The supplement Dr. Fauci takes to help keep his immune system healthy

It wasn't a planned implosion...other than by design. All buildings over 30 floors (if I'm remembering correctly) are required to be constructed in this fashion no matter where they are. And my former classmate in culinary school was there getting ready for lunch shift...I seen his name in the...

Sorry, I don't buy into the conspiracy theories. When you watch it happening in real time it's kinda disconcerting and sticks in your head. And these days I have a much better understanding of construction. And tall buildings have been designed to implode for over a 100 years now... I had...

The terms "called" and "chosen" are special terms used by many groups and aren't exactly based on Jewish cultural norms. And I am not sure of anyone's usage except scriptural and anthropological norms of the Jewish people...so I'll use those. But suffice it to say that the broad based group of...

It's still a tale of caution...and they stopped immediately because they are expecting problems due to the history of corona virus vaccines. Of course not all vaccines are so problematic. Most are great medical technology that saves millions of people every year. But this is "cutting edge"...
